MATERNITY NURSE
About
A maternity nurse can advise on breast/bottle feeding, colic, reflux issues, establishing routines and sleep patterns.
Hours
They can be on duty up to 24 hours a day if they live in. Or, they can work a regular 8-12 hour day, or night, 5-6 days per week.
Rate of Pay
The hourly rate depends on experience. You can expect to pay an experienced nanny between £10-14 per hour (Net).
The primary responsibility of the maternity nurse is with the care of both mother and baby. However, some may undertake light duties including preparing meals and helping with other siblings. A maternity nurse can be booked from one week to several months. Her tasks are to advise, guide and ensure the mother feels fully rested and supported. We also offer an online maternity nurse service, which you can access here.
